10,000 Puck Challenge
This off ice contest is open to all current Delco Phantoms players and goaltenders willing to work hard during the off season to improve their skills. This program is designed to not only help players improve their shooting and passing technique and power, but also to show them the power of setting goals and working to achieve them. Goalies may use a player stick but are encouraged to work on becoming a more effective passer with their goalie stick. Confident puck handling skills are a must for the modern day goalie. (See FAQ’s below for goaltender options.)
The goal of the contest is to shoot at least 10,000 pucks over the course of the summer (June 1 - August 31).
